Compiling issues (newbie)

[dcvsu]

Hi guys,

I'm really excited to get started with programming, but I'm having serious issues with compiling my first program. CodeBlocks keeps saying "Permission denied". I've been trying everything for hours now, and I understand it's either something with the installation of the compiler or some problem with the system permissions (I'm using a Mac, Yosemite).

When setting up the compiler (Settings>Compiler>Global compiler settings>Toolchain executables), it says that it auto-detected the installation path of "GNU GCC Compiler", but I've also tried manually setting up a gfortran version, both times unsuccessful.

In the case it's about system permissions: I'm using an admin account and I've enabled developer mode. I know from other posts that system permissions is not something that should be posted here, but if this turns out to be my problem I would really appreciate if someone would point me in the right direction with this!

Thanks

Code

I am guessing from your prior post that you are on a Apple computer.

I have no idea what a build log is supposed to look like from an Apple computer; I am guessing is will look close to what an Windows or Linux log does.

Please follow the posted link an post your Full Build log in your next post.

The Code::Blocks CB version info would likely be good to post.

Edit: Do you know when you are having the problem?
1. Compiling or Linking
2. Running without debug
3. Running with debug

Hi thanks for your reply. I installed another version, and it seems to be working now. I've got no idea what the problem was, I've tried reinstalling before without success, but it's working now so I'm happy
